I'm not able to see the photos for some reason, but I take it, lilo, that you got some snow. I'm not surprised, since the weather people forecasted snow at sea level around here.
Here is wishing for some daffys in your near future.

Of course you are right, Anneliese, but rain we can handle very well, gully-washers and frog-stranglers,no problem. We just are not equipped to handle snow and ice all that easily. from footwear and coats to clearing paths and driveways to keeping the pipes clear.
It is nice to look at for a little while, though
